Thanksgiving sewing

We are enjoying a three day weekend and that foggy too much turkey feeling. We celebrated our Thanksgiving meal with gratitude, a full house, good food, and laughter. I even had a chance to complete a little sewing project (bonnets and aprons). This year, the girls played Thanksgiving restaurant, made menus, and dressed up to take everyone’s Thanksgiving “orders”. It was my dad’s idea and made for a memorable meal.

A friend in our neighbourhood has started a tiny library of French books. Isn’t it sweet?

Have a happy week,

how cute!!! Love the idea. maybe when my grandpies are older I will remember to do this.. well except my outfits wont be so elaborate.. as I cant sew anything "real"! I'm glad you had a nice thanksgiving.. Im looking forward to ours.have a great week!!xoxovivian

Wonderful job on the bonnets and aprons (I, too was reminded of Holly Hobbie), perfect fabric choices. "Thanksgiving restaurant" sounds like a very fun idea for kids, I would like to copy that idea. I hope you and your family had yummy food.Those free little libraries are great, we have one close to our neighborhood, but there is also one in the parking lot of the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis.

What fabulous outfits! Why did bonnets go out of style? I want to wear it and not get strange looks, please. Is Canadian Thanksgiving pretty similar to the American one? I've just realized that I don't know anything about it..
